The aim of the current study was to investigate whether consolidative local ablative therapy (LAT) can improve the survival of patients with stage IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC who have oligometastatic disease treated with first-line EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy.
Patients with stage IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC and no more than five metastases within 2 months of diagnosis were identified. All patients were treated with first-line EGFR-TKIs. Consolidative LAT included radiotherapy, surgery, or both. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier curves.
From October 2010 to May 2016, 145 patients were enrolled, including 51 (35.2%) who received consolidative LAT to all oligometastatic sites (all-LAT group), 55 (37.9%) who received consolidative LAT to either primary tumor or oligometastatic sites (part-LAT group), and 39 (26.9%) who did not receive any consolidative LAT (non-LAT group). The median PFS in all-LAT, part-LAT, and non-LAT groups were 20.6, 15.6, and 13.9 months, respectively (p < 0.001). The median OS in all-LAT, part-LAT, and non-LAT groups were 40.9, 34.1, and 30.8 months, respectively (p < 0.001). The difference was statistically significant between the all-LAT group and part-LAT or non-LAT group but was not between the part-LAT and non-LAT group. The median OS was significantly improved with consolidative LAT for primary tumor (40.5 versus 31.5 months, p < 0.001), brain metastases (38.2 versus 29.2 months, p = 0.002), and adrenal metastases (37.1 versus 29.2 months, p = 0.032). Adverse events (grade ≥ 3) due to radiotherapy included pneumonitis (7.7%) and esophagitis (16.9%).
The current study showed that consolidative LAT to all metastatic sites was a feasible option for patients with EGFR-mutant oligometastatic NSCLC during first-line EGFR-TKI treatment, with significantly improved PFS and OS compared with consolidative LAT to partial sites or observation alone.
本研究旨在探讨对于一线 EGFR 酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)治疗后发生寡转移的 EGFR 突变型 IV 期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者,局部根治性治疗(LAT)能否改善其生存。
我们筛选出在诊断后 2 个月内存在不超过 5 个转移灶的 EGFR 突变型 IV 期 NSCLC 患者。所有患者均接受一线 EGFR-TKI 治疗。局部根治性治疗包括放疗、手术或两者结合。采用 Kaplan-Meier 曲线估计总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)。
2010 年 10 月至 2016 年 5 月,共纳入 145 例患者,其中 51 例(35.2%)接受所有寡转移灶的局部根治性治疗(全 LAT 组),55 例(37.9%)接受原发灶或寡转移灶的局部根治性治疗(部分 LAT 组),39 例(26.9%)未接受任何局部根治性治疗(非 LAT 组)。全 LAT、部分 LAT 和非 LAT 组的中位 PFS 分别为 20.6、15.6 和 13.9 个月(p<0.001)。全 LAT、部分 LAT 和非 LAT 组的中位 OS 分别为 40.9、34.1 和 30.8 个月(p<0.001)。全 LAT 组与部分 LAT 组或非 LAT 组之间的差异具有统计学意义,但部分 LAT 组与非 LAT 组之间的差异无统计学意义。全 LAT 组的原发灶(40.5 个月 vs. 31.5 个月,p<0.001)、脑转移灶(38.2 个月 vs. 29.2 个月,p=0.002)和肾上腺转移灶(37.1 个月 vs. 29.2 个月,p=0.032)的中位 OS 明显提高。放疗相关的不良事件(≥3 级)包括肺炎(7.7%)和食管炎(16.9%)。
本研究表明,对于一线 EGFR-TKI 治疗后发生寡转移的 EGFR 突变型 NSCLC 患者,对所有转移灶进行局部根治性治疗是一种可行的选择,与对部分病灶进行局部根治性治疗或观察相比,患者的 PFS 和 OS 明显提高。
